Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of welding technology, specifically a welding machine control system. Background Technology

[0002] During product manufacturing, several copper coils need to be connected in parallel. Parallel connection means arranging several copper coils parallel to each other on the same plane to form a queue. Then, all the copper coils in the queue, facing the same direction, are connected to a single iron sheet. This connects all the copper coils together. However, the surface of the copper coils is coated with a protective varnish. Therefore, when welding the copper coils to the iron sheet, the protective varnish at the ends of the copper coils needs to be removed before welding the varnish-free ends to the iron sheet. Currently, machines that perform this parallel connection of copper coils use a decentralized workstation method. A dedicated machine removes the protective varnish, and a dedicated machine welds the copper coils to the iron sheet. This requires numerous robotic arms, transport devices, or manual transport, making each workstation a separate system, which is difficult to control systematically. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by designing a welding control system that combines a gripping system, a peeling system, a welding system, a unloading system, and a product identification system. This system solves the problem of how to systematically control all machines that connect several copper coils in parallel.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0005] A welding control system includes a gripping system, a peeling system, a welding system, an unloading system, and a product identification system. The signal output terminal of the product identification system is connected to the signal input terminal of the gripping system. The signals of the gripping system and the peeling system are bidirectionally connected. The signal output terminal of the gripping system is connected to the conveying system. The signals of the conveying system are connected to the welding system. The signal output terminal of the welding system is connected to the unloading system. The signals of the unloading system are connected to the gripping system.

[0006] Preferably, the gripping system includes a rotation control system, and the signal output terminal of the rotation control system includes a robotic arm signal interface.

[0007] Preferably, the peeling system is equipped with a laser welder interface.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a cooling system, which is signal-connected to the unloading system.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes an alarm system, the alarm system signal being connected to the unloading system.

[0010] Preferably, the cooling system includes a temperature control system, which is connected to the alarm system.

[0011] Preferably, the grasping system includes a first counting module, a second counting module, and a comparison module. The signal input terminal of the comparison module is connected to the first counting module and the second counting module. The first counting module is connected to the product identification system, and the second counting module is connected to the unloading system.

[0012] Preferably, the grasping system includes a storage module, a photo acquisition module, and a comparison module. The photo acquisition module and the storage module are both signal-connected to the signal input terminal of the comparison module. The input terminal of the photo acquisition module is signal-connected to the output terminal of the product recognition system, and the signal output terminal of the comparison module is signal-connected to the rotation control system.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0014] 1. This application adopts a method of cooperating a gripping system, a peeling system, a welding system, an unloading system, and a product identification system to design a welding control system, which solves the problem of how to systematically control all machines that connect several copper coils in parallel.

[0015] 2. This application achieves precise control of the gripping robot on the welding machine by setting up a rotation control system, and enables the gripping robot on the welding machine to rotate as needed.

[0016] 3. This application uses a first counting module to calculate the number of products identified by the product identification system, a second counting module to calculate the number of products that have been welded, and a comparison module to compare the value calculated by the first counting module with the value calculated by the second counting module. If the value calculated by the first counting module is greater than the value calculated by the second counting module, it indicates that a product is stuck in the welding machine or that the welding machine's robotic arm is unstable, causing products to fall during the product gripping process. This allows workers to adjust and repair the welding machine. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, a welding control system includes a gripping system, a peeling system, a welding system, an unloading system, and a product identification system. The signal output terminal of the product identification system is connected to the signal input terminal of the gripping system. The signals of the gripping system and the peeling system are bidirectionally connected. The signal output terminal of the gripping system is connected to the conveying system. The signals of the conveying system are connected to the welding system. The signal output terminal of the welding system is connected to the unloading system. The signals of the unloading system are connected to the gripping system.

[0019] In this embodiment, when the welding machine identifies the product's location through the product identification system, the system transmits a signal to the gripping system. The gripping system then plans the movement path of the welding machine's robotic arm based on the identified location and simultaneously controls the gripping robotic arm to grasp the product along the designated path and move it to the stripping system to strip the copper coil. After stripping, the system transmits a signal to the gripping system, which then controls the welding machine's robotic arm to place the product onto the welding machine's conveyor. Simultaneously, the gripping system transmits a signal to the conveying system, which controls the welding machine's conveyor to transport the product to the welding station. The conveying system also transmits a signal to the welding system, which controls the welding device on the welding machine to weld the product. After welding is complete, the welding system transmits a signal to the unloading system, which controls the unloading robotic arm working in conjunction with the welding machine to remove the welded coil from the welding station.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the gripping system includes a rotation control system, and the signal output terminal of the rotation control system has a robot arm signal interface. By setting up the rotation control system, precise control of the gripping robot arm on the welding machine can be achieved, and the gripping robot arm on the welding machine can be rotated as needed.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the peeling system is equipped with a laser welder interface. This interface allows for signal connection to the laser welder on the welding machine, thereby controlling the welding process.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment, a cooling system is also included, which is signal-connected to the unloading system. The cooling system controls the cooling devices on the welding machine to cool the welded coils.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, an alarm system is also included, with the alarm system signal connected to the unloading system. With this setup, if the welding machine robot controlled by the unloading system malfunctions and fails to unload, or if the product gets stuck on the machine, the alarm system will sound an alarm to alert personnel to troubleshoot the problem.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the cooling system includes a temperature control system connected to the alarm system. Since it takes time for the soldered coil to cool to a temperature that workers can handle, the temperature control system detects the degree of cooling and alerts workers, preventing burns if the soldered coil is not cooled to a safe temperature.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the gripping system includes a first counting module, a second counting module, and a comparison module. The signal input terminal of the comparison module is connected to both the first and second counting modules. The first counting module is connected to the product identification system, and the second counting module is connected to the unloading system. The first counting module calculates the number of products identified by the product identification system, the second counting module calculates the number of products that have been welded, and the comparison module compares the value calculated by the first counting module with the value calculated by the second counting module. If the value calculated by the first counting module is greater than the value calculated by the second counting module, it indicates that a product is stuck in the welding machine or that the welding machine's robotic arm is unstable, causing products to fall during the gripping process. This allows workers to adjust and repair the welding machine.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the gripping system includes a storage module, a photo acquisition module, and a comparison module. Both the photo acquisition module and the storage module are signal-connected to the signal input terminal of the comparison module. The input terminal of the photo acquisition module is signal-connected to the output terminal of the product recognition system, and the signal output terminal of the comparison module is signal-connected to the rotation control system. This allows the photo acquisition module (industrial camera) to capture real-time images of the shape of the gripped product, and the storage module to store the shape of the product being welded by the welding machine. This prevents the welding machine from being damaged by using a product that is incompatible with it.
